Stylistically, the combination of documentary and what Spielberg was used to seeing in war films gives the picture a sark look -- not beautiful, not inviting, but touching nonetheless. Filmworkers, though, are now so used to filming in color that the production designer had to redo the sets to make them darker or lighter in contrast to the actors. The costumes, as well, had to be of a different color and texture than the sets and the actors (Schindler's List - Behind the Scenes Production Notes, 2010)
Music- the music is one of the more powerful elements in the picture. Since there is little color, it is the music that provides the sense of emotion and evolution of character within the film. In a characteristic interplay between Spielberg favorite John Williams, Williams remarked that the film needed a more classically oriented composer for this score. Spielberg replied, "Yes, John, you're right, but they've all be dead 200 years." Williams' score is haunting, with violine virtuoso Itzhak Perlman performing the solos. Williams also incorporated several Yiddish folk tunes into the score, sometimes sung by...
Authentic Jewish Klezmer music was also integrated, performed by noted musician Giora Feidman on the clarinet (Rubin, 2001, 73-4).
Conclusion- the film is a powerful portrait into the intimate life of someone faced with horror. It asks us the question, "what would we do?" The film shows, too, how the actions of a single human being can be so very critical for others. Though Schindler's List is shot in black and white, there is a symbol that enters into the film at various times -- a little girl in a red coat. Later in the film, almost to remind the audience how randomly fleeting life is, the little girl in the red coat is seen in a pile of the dead, only recognizable because of the tone of her coat.

Undocumented Students Equity to in-State Tuition: Reducing The Barriers There exist policy ambiguities and variations at federal, state, and institutional levels related to undocumented student access to and success in higher education and this has created problems for these students. This study investigated specific policies and procedures to provide the resources and capital to assist undocumented students as well as reviewed key elements of showing the correlation of these difficulties with ethnic
2 million of the 2.5 million wage-earning farm-workers live here illegally (Murphy 2004). That accounts for a lot of cheap labor, and many claim that without it fruit and vegetables would rot in the fields, toddlers would be without nannies, linens at hotels would go unlaundered, commuters would be stranded as taxis sat driverless, and construction would come to a halt (Murphy 2004). However, Borjas claims that this ripple effect
I can think of few things that could be more dangerous for homeland security than granting amnesty to 8 to 12 million illegal aliens," said Rep Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., an outspoken critic of legalization. "Perhaps the administration ought to dedicate more energy to enforcing our existing immigration laws and less on finding ways to allow millions to skirt them," Tancredo added.

So who is an American and what an America can or cannot do are questions which are critical to the issue of legalizing immigrants. Does being an American mean you cannot show allegiance to any other country? The images of people raising and waving Mexican flag had enraged many but it need not have. It should be accepted that people who come from different countries would forever hold in their
Workplaces that are dangerous for immigrant workers are equally dangerous for their U.S.-born counterparts who work beside illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants may come to U.S. shores with the aim of bettering their lives, but instead find themselves in poorly-paid, dead end, and unsafe jobs without access to legal recourse or health insurance -- and increasingly, U.S. workers are finding themselves in the same position. "The immigration controversy revolves around questions
